“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”
“So many great pictures of our pup! I could tell Tano was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed his time. Having anyone watch your dog can be a stressful time, but Doyle help eliminate any nerves we had!!”
“Our family loved Roger and our dogs had such a great time at his home. He consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures which made us so happy that they were so well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Jill and family were wonderful hosts for my dog over Christmas. I highly recommend them for your consideration. Communication was prompt and cheerful. My first experience on Rover was a 10/10.”
“Alex and his wife were wonderful!! They kept us well informed about our pets on a daily basis. Their home was clean and inviting and set up nicely for pet sitting. Our pets felt comfortable and loved. We had peace of mind knowing our furry babies were well care for. We will definitely use their services again!!”
“My 2 dogs loved spending the week with Bry and her family. She cared for my dogs like she cares for her own. And while I missed them, I felt confident they were getting the love, exercise and attention they were accustomed to. I will definitely be using her again!”
“We are so thankful we found Kathy to watch our beagle,Kona. She is absolutely the best! We felt comfortable from the very first time we met Kathy during our Meet and Greet. She watched Kona for two days when we went out of town. Kathy kept us updated and sent pictures. Communication was awesome! She loves dogs and treats them like one of her own. Kona loved going for walks and playing with her dog Charleigh. We already have dates set for Kathy to watch Kona during our upcoming trips. She is truly amazing!”
“Rebecca took good care of our hyper husky puppy. We received regular updates and pictures of our dog throughout her stay and knew that Juno was happy and in good hands. This was a much better experience for our puppy because she got to socialize more with other dogs and Rebecca’s family during this critical developmental period. I would definitely recommend Rebecca!”
“We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾”
“Melissa was incredible. I was so nervous about leaving our two boys (Boston Terriers). We had never left them with anyone but family so this was hard for us. She made our dogs a part of her home, took perfect care of them, sent updates throughout our time away and truly welcomed them as part of her family. She even extended our stay when we unexpectedly got stuck out of town during the Southwest Airline debacle. We truly appreciate her and will definitely be back!”
“Alexis did an amazing job! We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but she eased our minds. She was great about communicating with us about how things were going with pictures, videos and communicating about the visit. Cannot say enough good things about Alexis. She is definitely the best choice for a dog sitter.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our dog. I really appreciated the daily pictures and updates. I could rest at ease she was well taken care of and loved. Thank you for letting our dog stay with your family.”
“Ryne is fantastic! My two boys knew exactly where we were when we pulled up for drop off, and I know they are in good hands with each stay. Ryne will definitely be our first call for boarding moving forward!”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
“I received regular updates during Jayda’s stay. She was reluctant to leave me at dropoff but energetic and happy throughout the stay as evidenced in her pictures. Jessica and Nathan were welcoming and friendly. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would 100% recommended them to anyone needing care for their fur baby! 😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Calhoun home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Calhoun.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Calhoun sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
